SECTION 5: FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

FLAMMABILITY OF THE PRODUCT: FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR, (% BY VOLUME): FLASH POINT: AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION:

Combustible liquid LOWER: Approx 0.7 UPPER: Approx 5.0 Closed Cup >38 C, (100 F) Not determined Normal combustion forms water vapor and carbon dioxide. Incomplete burning can produce carbon monoxide and particulate matter.

FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARDS IN THE PRESENCE OF VARIOUS SUBSTANCES:

Combustible liquid. When heated above the flash point, this material will release vapors that can ignite when exposed to open flame, sparks and static discharge. Mists or sprays may be flammable at temperatures below the normal flash point. Keep away from heat and open flame. Combustible Liquid. Use dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide to extinguish the fire. Consult foam manufacturer for appropriate media, application rates and water/foam ratio. If a leak or spill has not ignited, ventilate area and use water spray to disperse gas or vapor and to protect personnel attempting to stop a leak. Use water to flush spills away from sources of ignition. Do not flush down public sewers. Collect contaminated fire-fighting water separately. It must not enter the municipal sewage system. Dike area of fire to prevent runoff. Decontaminate emergency personnel and equipment with soap and water. Combustible liquid and vapor. Vapor may cause flash fire. Vapors may accumulate in low or confined areas or travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flashback. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.

FIRE-FIGHTING MEDIA AND INSTRUCTIONS:

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT:

Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and selfcontained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode. Cool tanks, containers and exposed structures with water. Moderately combustible. When heated above the flash point, this material will release flammable vapors which if exposed to a source of ignition can burn or be explosive in confined spaces. Mists or sprays may be flammable at temperatures below the normal flash point. Keep away from heat and open flame.

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:

PAGE 4 OF 12

SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS:

Immediately contact emergency personnel. Eliminate all ignition sources. Keep unnecessary personnel away. Use suitable protective equipment (section 8). Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Tanks, vessels or other confined spaces which have contained product should be freed of vapors before entering. The container should be checked to ensure a safe atmosphere before entry. Empty containers may contain toxic, flammable/combustible or explosive residues or vapors. Do not cut, grind, drill, weld or reuse empty containers that contained this product. Do not transfer this product to another container unless the container receiving the product is labeled with proper DOT shipping name, hazard class and other information that describes the product and its hazards.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:

Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. If facility or operation has an "oil or hazardous substance contingency plan", activate its procedures. Stay upwind and away from spill. Wear appropriate protective equipment including respiratory protection as conditions warrant. Do not enter or stay in area unless monitoring indicates that it is safe to do so. Isolate hazard area and restrict entry to emergency crew. Review Fire Fighting Measures section before proceeding with clean up. Keep all sources of ignition (flames, smoking, flares, etc.) away from release. Contain spill in smallest possible area. Recover as much product as possible (e.g., by vacuuming). Stop leak if it can be done without risk. Use water spray to disperse vapors. Spilled material may be absorbed by an appropriate absorbent, and then handled in accordance with environmental regulations. Prevent spilled material from entering sewers, storm drains, other unauthorized treatment or drainage systems and natural waterways. Contact fire authorities and appropriate federal, state and local agencies. If spill of any amount is made into or upon navigable waters, the contiguous zone, or adjoining shorelines, contact the National Response Center at 800-424- 8802. For highway or railway spills, contact Chemtrec at 800-4249300.

METHODS FOR CLEANING UP:

If emergency personnel are unavailable, contain spilled material. For small spills, add absorbent (soil may be used in the absence of other suitable materials) and use a nonsparking or explosion-proof means to transfer material to a sealable, appropriate container for disposal. For large spills, dike spilled material or otherwise contain it to ensure runoff does not reach a waterway. Place spilled material in an appropriate container for disposal. Water spill: Eliminate sources of ignition and warn other ships in the area to stay clear. Notify the proper authorities. Confine with skimming equipment if available or set booms to recover the spill.

SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE

HANDLING

Do not ingest. Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Keep container closed. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. To avoid fire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by grounding and bonding containers and equipment before transferring material. Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment. Wash thoroughly after handling. In case of fire, use water spray, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide as described in the Fire Fighting Measures section of the MSDS. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill on or near this container. "Empty" container contains residue (liquid and/or vapor) and may explode in heat of a fire. Use good personal hygiene practices. After handling this product, wash hands before eating, drinking or using toilet facilities. Keep out of reach of children. Failure to use caution may cause serious injury or illness. Do not use as a cleaning solvent or for other nonfuel uses. To prevent ingestion and exposure - Do not siphon by mouth to transfer product between containers.

STORAGE:

Store in a segregated and approved area. Keep container in a cool, wellventilated area. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame). For information regarding transferring material refer to OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.106, Flammable and Combustible Liquids, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 77, Recommended Practice on Static Electricity, and/or the American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice 2003, Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out of Static, Lightning, and Stray Currents.

SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

ENGINEERING CONTROLS:

Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their respective occupational exposure limits. Special ventilation may be required for handling conditions at elevated temperatures. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.

PERSONAL PROTECTION SKIN:

Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling this product. Flame retardant clothing is recommended. In case of skin contact, wash with mild soap and water or a waterless hand cleaner. Immediately remove soiled clothing and wash thoroughly before reuse. Discard oil-soaked leather goods. Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator. Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Eye protection (chemical-type goggles and/or face shield) should be worn whenever there is a likelihood of splashing or spraying liquid. Contact lenses should not be worn. Eye wash water should be provided. Use good personal hygiene practices. Gloves, Hardhat, Face Shield, Boots, Safety Glasses, Respirator, Fire Retardant Clothing
